If you’ve tried everything to heal from your chronic symptoms and nothing's worked, it's time for a change
You need a practitioner who truly cares, takes a holistic approach, and brings the pieces together—through deeply personalized 1:1 care and clear next steps so you can start healing from the root.
You've tried so many things. Why do you still feel this way?
You've been to specialists. You've changed your diet. You've tried supplements, eliminated foods, adjusted your sleep routine, and maybe even worked with therapists or bodywork practitioners.
Some things helped a little. Some made no difference at all.
And you're left with the same exhausting reality: pain that won't quit, fatigue that steals your day before it even starts, hormones that feel completely out of your control, digestion that's unpredictable, and a nervous system so overwhelmed that even rest doesn't feel restful anymore.
The problem isn't you. And you haven't failed.
The truth is, the medical system wasn't built for what you're dealing with. Most people get 10 minutes with a doctor. You end up bouncing between providers and specialists, each looking through a narrow lens.
You’re told you’re “fine,” or you’re offered a prescription to manage one piece of the problem—without anyone taking the time to ask the deeper questions.
What you need is a practitioner who takes the time to understand your full pattern and map a system that actually fits your body—so you have a plan you can follow and refine as your body changes.
That’s where I come in. If you’ve tried everything and nothing fits, I bring the pieces together—so your healing finally has a clear path.
Why This Finally Feels Different
When you’re dealing with chronic symptoms and burnout, what’s exhausting isn’t only the symptoms—it’s re-telling your story again and again… and still not feeling truly seen.
This work is different because I’m not here to “treat a symptom.” I’m here to work with you—in a way that’s trauma-informed, holistic, and rooted in the belief that your body isn’t failing you… it’s communicating.
That means we go at a pace your system can actually handle. We listen for the pattern underneath the symptoms. And we build a plan that supports your whole body—so you’re not forcing change through willpower while your nervous system stays stuck in survival mode.
My approach brings together:
This blend is what allows us to move beyond symptom-chasing and into root-focused healing—with the right steps in the right order, paced in a way your system can respond to.
That’s why I created the Little Sage Healing Intensive.
Introducing The Little Sage Healing Intensive
A premium, high-touch, 1:1 healing experience for women with chronic illness who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start restoring vitality from the root.
This isn’t a temporary fix. It’s a guided process—trauma-informed, whole-body, and responsive—so your plan evolves as your body changes. A chance to finally build the resilience and strength you've been searching for.
What makes it different:
How We Work Together
This is high level, personalized 1:1 care tailored to your unique body, symptoms, and healing goals. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, your care is designed specifically for you and evolves as you heal.
Two ways to work with me:
In-Person (Long Beach, CA)
Hands-on care at my clinic in Long Beach, CA, with acupuncture and herbs as a cornerstone of your plan.
Virtual Wellness Intensive

Virtual is available worldwide (including CA) as coaching + education-based support.
What your plan may include:
We’ll determine the right combination, pace, and level of support during your consultation based on what your body needs most.
About Me
I’m Melissa Roxas and I’ve worked with hundreds of women with chronic symptoms and burnout, which means I’m used to complex cases that don’t fit neatly in one box. I’ve also lived through trauma, stress, and burnout in my own life—so my approach is both trauma-informed and deeply practical. My goal is to help you regain stability, rebuild your energy, and feel like yourself again.
In our work together, I’m looking at the whole picture—your symptoms, your nervous system, and what your body has been carrying. I blend Traditional East Asian Medicine with integrative medicine and science-backed, somatic nervous system support to address root causes—so your healing is truly integrative, not piecemeal.
I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.), Herbalist, and Medical Qigong Practitioner. I’m also a certified Women’s Functional and Integrative Medicine Practitioner and a Certified Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Practitioner. I have over 20 years of experience providing trauma-informed care for the mind, body and spirit.
I believe there's a Little Sage in all of us, that indomitable spirit of the human soul, an inner knowing, a well of energy and power to heal your body. You have the ability to tap into it.
I look forward to supporting you as you bring the pieces together, feel like yourself again, and rebuild steady vitality for the people, work, and moments you love.
This program is for you if:
You've been living with chronic symptoms for months or years and feel like something's still missing.
You’ve been told your labs look “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, and not like yourself——and you’re tired of being dismissed or not believed.
You want trauma-informed care that honors your body's wisdom and your lived experience.
You're looking for personalized, hands-on support—not another DIY approach.
You're ready to stop managing symptoms and start rebuilding vitality from the root.
You're ready to make this a meaningful investment in your long-term wellbeing.
What becomes possible:
You wake up with energy
This isn't about going back to who you were before. It's about becoming someone who knows how to listen to her body, honor her needs, and navigate life with resilience and clarity.
Your pain becomes manageable—some days barely noticeable.
You trust your body instead of fearing it, and you can show up for the people and activities you love without depleting yourself.
You feel deeply supported—like you finally have a practitioner who’s truly paying attention, seeing the whole picture, and walking with you step-by-step.
Work with me—and let’s transform your life.
You don’t have to keep pushing through, wondering why nothing sticks, or trying to force your body into “normal.” You deserve care that takes your symptoms seriously and supports your whole system—so healing becomes something you can actually follow, not something you have to constantly figure out.
When we work together, you’re not getting a generic protocol. You’re getting a practitioner who’s invested—trauma-informed, holistic, and focused on root causes—guiding you step-by-step with a plan that evolves as your body changes.
If you’re ready to bring the pieces together and feel like yourself again—so you can show up for the people you love and do more of what matters to you—the next step is to complete the application so we can explore whether working together is the right fit.
